After somestuff about "Astral Blade" and the game from the other night
here...one of my players decided to do something interesting...he decided to
"undesign" his magesword anchoring.

The reason is this, he had made a variation on the spell to do both versions,
the Mana and the Physical, through "Light" Elemental effect (yeah, big drain,
but the guy is Power-motif at it's finest and funniest) and boom, big bad
ugly blade that fit in the space of a flashlight (actually, he anchored it to
one)

Anyway, he kept trying to get the "no armor" bonus of the mana version and
the sheer guts/glory of the physical blade. Didn't understand what was going
on when it kept failing or acting weird with spell and blade barrier's.

Then he discovered the old Dual Nature rules of combat.

It was just a memory that crept up on me...had to get it out of my system...
